THE LONG AND SHORT HAUL.

A Petition for Suspension From the
 Union Pacific.
 WASHINGTON, April 29.-A special mes sengcr from New York brought to interstate commerce commission headquarters this morning the petition of the Union Pacific railway signed by Charles Francis Adams, jr., urging suspension of the long and short haul section of the interstate law over business of that road. A copy of the peti- ton was left with Secretary Moseley at head quarters and the messenger journeyed on- ward with dispatch which he will hand to the commission when he overtakes them at Atlanta or Mobile. The petition is similar to those heretofore presented by the Northern and Southern Pacific roads. It sets forth that the transportation business of the road is necessarily carried on under cir cumstances and conditions dissimilar from those under which local business is conduct ed and that the road is subject to competi- ton for transcontinental business with the Canadian Pacific road, the Pacific Mail Steamship company, clipper ships and tramp steamers plying between Atlantic and Pacific ports. It represents that the tariff on freight and passenger traffic prepared on the assumption that the fourth section of the law applied to the Union Pacific road has been put in force and as a result the through transcontinental business of the road has been reduced by at least ninety per cent On the other hand it is said that if the rates for local traffic should be reduced so as to enable the road to com pete for through business the earnings of the road would be inadequate to the payment of expenses. It also represents that the road is subject to water competition not restrained by the law not only via the Atlantic and Pa ciic oceans. but on the rivers of the West and the great lakes. Complaint is made that the foreign business of the road is injuriously affected by the operation of the fourth section. A lower charge for longer than for shorter hauls is necessary to enable carriers in the United States to compete with foreign carriers not controlled by the law and is likewise necessary to enable United States producers, manufacturers and mer- The petition closes by urging the commis- sion to relieve the road, as it has already re- ieved it's rivals, from the operation of the fourth section of the law end place it upon equal footing with the other companies.

HOME FOR THE APAoHEs.
Army Officers Looking Up a Reserva,
 ton IH Alabama.

ton 1H Alabama
 WASHINGTON, April 29.-An inspection by army officers of the reservation at Mount Vernon, Ala, with view to making it the future home of the Apache Indian captives shows that it is peculiarly adapted for this purpose. The reservation embraces 3, 126 acres of fine forest land, we'll watered and affording ample supply of wholesome water for drinking and bathing purposes for a large number of people. But little of the land is cleared and none of it is adapted for agricultural purposes. The country for many miles about is sparsely settled. It is one of the healthiest localities in the South with ample means of communication with the outside world. The barracks buildings are needed for post purposes, but temporary structures can be erected for the Indians at small expense. Three hundred and fifty four Indians have been taken there from Fort Marion. Sixty-three Apache men, wo- men and children have been taken to Car lisle, and twenty women and children have joined the renegades at Fort Picken, Fla.

Two officers from Westches- ter county, New York, and one from Worcester have been here with the owners of some horses which were stolen last Sunday night in New York.
